Gsx750 cafe/street bike

[gs58]

I am interested in knowing where you got this bike certified. I think that you told me years ago that it was somewhere in the Wairarapa. I'm in Palmy Nth and have a project bike needing certification. Any advice is appreciated.

Cheers
Paul

It's been a long time since anything happened with this bike. A friend of mine crashed it quite badly at a track day, to the point that he had to buy it off me.
it has sat for the last 4 years rotting, but finally, another friend has decided to rebuild it. it now runs, and he is in the process of making it look pretty again.

So happy that I found this thread, I have read through it all now. This build is such an inspiration!

I too have a GSX750E 1981, just like your but with the slimmer (prettier ; tank. It was bought in pieces and I havent gotten started on it yet, its been sitting in my garage for the last tree years as I have three other zooks that Im constantly working (and riding) on. I have a solo seat naked TL1000R (cool to see the S in in your photos), a 1216 big bore Bandit and my town hopper Savage 650 thumper which is getting most of my attention as of late. But reading through this makes me really want to get the others done and and get started on the GSX!

Ever since I first saw a shortened stock tail on one of these I knew thats what Im going to do, yours just looks ace man, perfect lines. I was planning on transplanting my std TL1000R forks on to my Bandit and that would leave my Bandit front end for the GSX, so it was great to see a Bandit front end on yours too, it also looks killer. Im keeping the 750 motor, I have two of those, planning to make one good motor out of two in states of unknown really... maybe will bore it to 816 and a little head work. Also have a set of VM29SS flat slide carbs for it. For the rear end I have sourced a GS(X)1100 alu swingarm, for twin shocks. It should be able to take a 4.5" Bandit600 or SV650 rear wheel and a 160 rear tyre.

Sorry to hear that beauty was crashed but great news shes beeing brought back to life again!!! *Subscribed*

Nah, it does have an oil injector tank, just wasn't in place for the photo. It's a 1972 tc90. I've totally stripped and rebuilt it, got it running yesterday.... It's so much fun, can't wait to take it for a proper ride an do some skids!

im not the only tc owner here?!?!?!?!?!?! lol did the 90 have the dual range gear box like my 185 does? im getting ready to eliminate the factory starter/ignition/stator combo on mine and modify a aftermarket rm125 lighting coil set up to run my lights.. after spending 40 dollars on brushes and 100 on a regulator/rectifier for it only to get 12.9v at wide open throttle ive decided the electric start isnt worth not being able to ride at night lol

Very cool to read what you did as I am doing something similar right now.

This build started and finished before I joined. Awesome build, and sorry to hear of its fate.
Cool that its being resurrected.

Got a lot of time for this!

Necropost!

Builds like this are blasphemous!!! Video AND sound are needed BEFORE signing off 'The End'.

Epic build.

That's really sharp. I love the transformation. It looks like it's begging to be thrown around some esses.

Sweet! From the pics it likes like it's in great condition. Enjoy!

Love the little enduro. I usually do a dirt bike every year. Love the simplicity and fun factor. What year and model is that? Looks like someone punted the oil injection tank. Is that a rotary valved motor? If not then that carb might be in the wrong place lol.

Haven't posted any progress on my bike for a while... Got side tracked by my latest build... At least it's a Suzuki!!!!!

That's pretty cool! Nothing wrong with that as a side track

Thanks, I know the exhaust wrap etc is not for everyone, but its made out of sheeps wool (which is fire retardant). I like sheep. Baaaaa.baaaaa :-)

Hahahahaahhaahahahahahahaa I got nothin' to say to that!

As long as your wrapping the motorcycle pipe with that stuff.....LOL
